Career Treks FAQ

You can expect to learn more about the organization, recruitment process and potential internship, volunteer and full time opportunities. Also, you will experience the company culture and network with HR personnel, staff members, and/or alumni working at the organization.

Prepare ahead of time: Spend some time learning about the organization through its website, read its career pages, and check for postings on Hire-a-Falcon. Also search for any recent news about the organization and know about its products and services. Prepare a list of questions and bring a pen and paper to take notes, which will help with any follow up.

Act Professionally: Although a site visit is not an interview, your contribution on the day can lead to an ongoing relationship with the organization. Also, as a representative of UW-River Falls, you make a positive impression by showing an interest in the day's activities and asking well-researched questions. This means you should not be using your cell phone or other devices during the site visit.
